Afaik, unless you have eye surgery, floaters are stuck in your eye forever, it’s just that many eventually sink out of your field of vision. If you have large new floaters, especially if there are multiple new ones that appear suddenly, I’d recommend seeing an eye doctor - it’s how I found out I’d torn my retina, which was at risk of detaching and possibly making me partially blind.
Genuine question; is there anything we can do against eye floaters or is it necessary to go to opticians/ doc?
I swapped my desktop computer to night mode so my floater is less annoying.
My optician said I’d stop noticing it in 6 weeks. That was 6 months ago.

There is no treatment because they are considered a natural and harmless consequence of aging. Only in severe cases is surgery necessary.
My optometrist said not to worry unless I see a “shower of them” suddenly.
